Description: For the paralegal who is actively involved in preparing, drafting, editing, and filing written pleadings, this on-demand webinar explores the most persuasive methods to structure and format a written response, and how all legal argumentation can be boiled down into simple logical statements. This on-demand webinar includes a segment on proper legal research citations. Further, explanation on why it is important to respond to every motion or filing from the other side with a written response – no matter how frivolous, trivial, or obvious the response may seem – and why creating a “bank” of responses will make it easier to quickly respond to motions and filings. Finally, discussion on why simply filing the brief with the clerk’s office may not be sufficient, as well as the best methods to ensure that it is actually read by a judge prior to a hearing. The on-demand webinar draws on the speaker’s experience as a former law clerk to a state trial court judge, and discusses what judges actually prefer and dislike when it comes to written filings.
